This week, Neighbours' Steph and Toadie (Carla Bonner and Tyan Moloney) both dither on the altar steps, Emmerdale's vicar, Ashley, and Laurel split over his love child while Andy Sugden engages in fisticuffs, literally, with Jo and Val's about to bankrupt fiance Pollard.

The surgeon performing the operation responded by exiting the operating theater to engage his assailant in (latex) "gloves off" fisticuffs (which reportedly resulted in loose teeth and a fractured finger, among other injuries), leaving an assistant physician to complete the procedure.

I've been around long enough to remember the first time I saw a program credit for fight choreography--in the old days, the director staged the swordplay or the fisticuffs whether or not he had any expertise in fencing or boxing.

Prone to fits of violent temper, made worse by the permanent scars of the unspeakably inhuman treatment he endured, Harry Haft decided to take his talent for fisticuffs into the professional boxing ring.
